“The situation in Italy is improving, and this sets us up to cautious optimism. For several weeks now, the number of hospitalized in intensive care units has decreased, the number of people who have recovered has increased, and the number of people dying from the virus has drastically dropped every day, ”he said in an interview with kp.ru.

“I am convinced that Italy will emerge from an even stronger and more united country than before,” he added.
